1. Aperiodic stochastic resonance (ASR) is a phenomenon wherein the response of a
nonlinear system to a weak aperiodic input signal is optimized by the presence of a …

The human capacity for vibrotactile frequency discrimination has been compared directly for
glabrous and hairy skin regions by means of a two-alternative, forced-choice psychophysical …

Experiments were conducted in which threshold-frequency characteristics were measured
on the hairy skin of the forearm of human observers. Thresholds were measured with two …

Selective activation of single tactile or kinaesthetic afferent nerve fibers in conscious human
subjects by means of the intraneural microstimulation procedure reveals quite marked …

Adult skin sensory neurons exhibit characteristic projection patterns in the dorsal horn of the
spinal gray matter that are tightly correlated with modality. However, little is known about …

To further study the functional organisation of human peripheral nerves, the intrafascicular
arrangement of afferent fibres supplying Pacinian corpuscles (PCs) was explored by …

1. The synaptic linkage between single, identified slowly adapting type I (SAI) fibres and
their central target neurones of the cuneate nucleus was examined in pentobarbitone …

The marmoset monkey, Callithrix jacchus, has increasingly been the subject of experiments
for the analysis of somatosensory system function in simian primates. However, as response …

Transmission from single, identified, slowly adapting type II (SAII) tactile fibers to their target
neurons in the cuneate nucleus was examined in anesthetized cats. Simultaneous …

The mole's nose is covered with mechanosensory structures called Eimer's organs. Each
organ contains Merkel cell-neurite complexes, Paciniform corpuscles and intraepidermal …
